Dance the night away at Indietracks!

Indietracks isn’t just for bands y’know! It’s also about donning your fanciest clothes and pulling the swankiest shapes you can manage after a hard day of band-watching, real ale-drinking and llama-petting!

We know that you like to dance along to the widest range of tunes possible so, each night after the bands finish, there will be a choice of two wonderful discos for your delectation. The usual massive dancealong in the loco shed and, for those who fancy shimmying in more intimate surroundings, a smaller disco in the workshop marquee.

The discos will start around 10pm and finish at about midnight, so don’t forget to bring your best dancing shoes. We’ll meet you in the middle of the dancefloor!

Lipstick On Your Collar is a club night in Bristol, UK. It's a celebration of the female voice, playing damn good records by girls and grrrls through the decades. Everything from Banarama to Bikini Kill, Camera Obscura to The Crystals and Shampoo to Sugababes.

P!O!P Kombinat Berlin is a DJ-Team from Berlin, Germany. Formed in November last year, they grab a lot of attention by playing Twee -“Lieblingsmusik” and putting on small and new indiepop bands who usually don't make it to perform live in Germany, including The Pains of Being Pure At Heart in June. They're very much looking forward to their first ever DJ set at Indietracks!

Aleix and Marta are a pop DJ duo from Barcelona, better known as Bonnie & Clyde.
They DJ in one of the most popular indie clubs in Barcelona, the Razzmatazz, where they are residents in one of the rooms, the 'pop bar'. As the name suggests, they play pop in every kind of way. They have DJed almost in every pop club in Barcelona, as well as festivals such as Benicassim and Summecase - and now Indietracks. Let's hope they bring some of the summery Spanish weather with them!

Marquee - How Does It Feel To Be Loved?How Does It Feel To Be Loved? is a London night club. Thei set at Indietracks will be a sixties and soul special with hip-shaking soul, hand-clapping rock 'n' roll and footstomping go-go power! They will be playing girl groups, Motown, northern sould, Stax, Atlantic and much, more more.

SUNDAYShed - DJ Polar (Luis from Elefant)DJ Polar is one of those DJs who absolutely personifies pop music. Also known as Luis Calvo, founder of this year's main stage hosts Elefant Records, he lives pop music with the same passion that drives him to delight us with choruses and melodies as he turns up the volume from the mixing table.

Marquee - Songs For ChildrenSongs for Children is an indiepop night in Hong Kong. Run by husband-and-wife team Mike Mystery and Jane Blondel, they have promised us they'll be giving out lots of free badges - yay!
You can never have enough free badges in our opinion!
